LONGi has announced a cooperation with leading European O&M and EPC contractor Solarpro on a new PV plant being built in Romania. The project, scheduled to go online in mid-2025, will deploy over 285,000 LONGi modules for a total capacity of 174MW and will be the country’s largest solar project, generating sufficient electricity to power 115,000 households, while eliminating an annual 95,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
Solarpro CEO Krasen Mateev commented: “At Solarpro, we selected LONGi for its proven track record in delivering the high-performance, reliable technology that supports our mission to be a leader in sustainable energy solutions in Europe. Our shared dedication to innovation and quality will allow us to consistently meet our customers’ expectations, while contributing to the global shift toward clean energy.”
LONGi Europe’s president of its utility business group, Leon Zhang, added: “We’re delighted to continue our partnership with Solarpro and to have the opportunity to supply such a groundbreaking PV project for the region. We designed the Hi-MO 7 module for just such large-scale solar energy plants where efficiency and quality are needed to deliver long-term benefits. This is where we can contribute meaningfully to reducing balance-of-system costs now, and O&M later.”
The plant will be located in the district of Oltenia, southwest of Bucharest. Leading southeast European renewables developer CWP Europe owns the project, with Grup Blauer serving as developer and Solarpro as builder.
